I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Kentucky with over 7 years of experience helping people navigate life when it feels messy, overwhelming, or just plain stuck. I earned my Master’s in Social Work and have spent my career walking alongside individuals as they find hope, healing, and a way forward through some of life’s toughest seasons.
I work with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, sleep struggles, and challenges with motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I also have a strong background in supporting people in early recovery from substance use helping them build coping skills, stay grounded, and create real, sustainable change (not just quick fixes).
Outside of session, I practice what I preach: I focus on my own growth, stay active, and try to keep life in perspective which means I get the ups and downs that come with being human. I know starting therapy can feel intimidating, and I genuinely respect the courage it takes to show up. If you’re ready to do the work, I’m here to walk with you, challenge you when needed, and cheer you on as you build the life you deserve.
I'm originally from New York City I've had personal and professional relationships with all cultures I believe for a therapist to help a client he must use love
In 2011, I came across a magazine photo of a little girl standing alone, looking confused and crying. Behind her, people from her community were running for safety, not noticing her. Their whole community was about to be destroyed by a tsunami. Later that year, when I faced a big change in my own life, I remembered that picture of the little girl. It reminded me that I was not alone.
10 years post license, with a variety of settings and populations, I currently specialize in treating adult women, addressing trauma, and utilizing my training specific to personality disorders. I am EMDR and EAGALA certified, DBT trained, and love dogs and horses.
I am a licensed mental health counselor who specializes in working with women "across the spectrum of motherhood." I work with women experiencing infertility, pregnancy, postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD, heavy mental loads, mom guilt, and empty nests. I have advanced training in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders and use evidence based approaches in my work.
If you or your child have been carrying something heavy, like the aftermath of trauma, anxiety that keeps your body on high alert, or a low mood that will not lift, you do not have to white knuckle it alone. I am Rhiannon Brown, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I help people process what they have been through and find their footing again. I work with children, teens, and adults, including LGBTQIA+ and trans folks, neurodivergent clients, and people with chronic or invisible illnesses.
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of Kentucky, and I also supervise and train others working toward licensure. My goal is to create a space where you can feel heard and human. One of my core beliefs is that we listen without judgment, and together, we work to help you get to where you want to be.
I have worked in a variety of settings working with clients of all ages but my area of primary focus has been families and children. I have worked in a community mental health center, in child protection and in school social work/counseling. I was director of a domestic violence program and also led a treatment program for adolescent sex offenders. My therapeutic style is to develop a partnership with my clients to help them improve their lives.
I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I treat a wide range of mental health challenges including anxiety and stress, mood disorders, trauma, depression, coping with chronic illness, military family life, and life transitions. I have 30 years of working with service members, families and support system members.
If you've been putting off therapy — telling yourself you'll handle it on your own, or that it's not for you — you're exactly who I'm glad to work with. I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 22 years of experience, and I help adults get to the root of what's actually going on and do something about it. Whether it's anxiety, depression, anger that's costing you, the weight of past trauma, stress that won't let up, or questions about identity and who you are, I'll meet you head-on and help you build a real way forward.
I work with a lot of men and people from diverse backgrounds who want a therapist they can be straight with — someone direct, who respects your time and helps you see results, not just talk in circles. That's the work I'm built for.
I’m Charity, an LCSW with 12 years of experience helping people navigate life’s harder chapters. Whether you're managing the weight of anxiety and depression, processing trauma, or adjusting to the unique challenges. I’m here to support you. My background across military and medical settings has taught me that everyone’s journey is different. I’m committed to providing a compassionate, culturally responsive space where you can feel truly understood as you grow.
